Take two steps forward
but no steps back
ignore the ones trying
to hold you back
who says you can't
make your destination
screw that person
it's your inspiration .
To the ones who tell you,
"Go ahead and give up,
Here's what you do:
leave them in the dust.
This is whats called
a Liberty walk.
Where we brush off rude comments
and we march not balk.
"Your dream is trash
what good will it do?
Nobody's gonna listen,
they'll just ignore you."
Haters say something
quite similar to this
only cause they're jealous
and their dreams went amiss.
"Liberty walk, Liberty walk"
just keep repeating in your mind.
Keep your vision in sight
and that's what you'll find.
Whether its a dream
or whether its a goal
keep it in sight
and you'll rock-and-roll.
Who says you can't
make your dreams come true?
There's more to life
than crack and booze.
Don't worry bout
how long it may take;
if you want it enough,
then learn from mistakes.
Don't worry if your friends
think its "uncool."
If you follow what they think,
then man, you'er a fool.
Take two steps forward
but no steps back.
Just make sure you:
ignore the ones trying to hold you back.

This poem is really great for someone who may be going through a tough time right now. It's never easy to stay strong when the odds always seem to be against you. Encouraging words never make much of a dent in armor that's used to bracing against words laced with as much malice as possible. But sometimes, even when you have no faith that things could ever turn out well for you, you should listen to the little voice telling you to never give up. Because every once and a while, that little voice is all you need to get back up and "walk" again.
